Stop the recall ability, when being attacked

[JesusLovesYou]

Hello
I'm making a MOBA game within the world editor and stumble upon an issue, that I can't seem to find a solution for.
In my map I have made a recall ability applied on every hero. So when they use the recall ability, they will wait 8 seconds and then be teleported back to base, from where ever they stood before.

- I want to make a simple trigger; that stops the recall ability for heroes, if they are being attacked.

Can anyone help me achieve this goal?

I would do something like -
Event - Unit is attacked
Condition - Ability being cast equal to x AND owner of triggering unit equal to
Action - Order Unit to ( STOP ) or something like that....
I think this should work but i just wrote this as like a base version, I would have to test it more at home but more or less you want something like this, right ?

Attacked event runs when a unit begins the windup for its attack, not when the attack deals damage.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit takes damage
  • -------- or some other equivalent event from a damage detection system --------
• Conditions
  • (Damage from Normal Attack) equal to True
  • -------- or some other equivalent condition from a damage detection system --------
  • (Current order of (Triggering Unit)) equal to BASE_ORDER_ID_OF_THE_RECALL_SPELL
• Actions
  • Unit - Order (Triggering Unit) to Stop

It looks like I'm not able to collect the (Event: Unit - A unit takes damage).
Only through: "Unit - Specific Unit Event"; am I able to find: "takes damage".

- Is this because i got an older version of the World Editor or what do u guys think?


This is the closest I could get trying to do your example Pyrogasm. (Uploaded file)

Check the Legacy Code & Requirements tab to see options for old versions. My tired line I always say is: updating your game is free (if it's a legit CD key) because it doesn't require Reforged.

Yes they added it as a generic unit event with reforged so you'll either need to used "is attacked" or find a workaround like this in a separate trigger

• Events
  • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
• Conditions
  • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
• Actions
  • Trigger - Add to Stop Recall <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)

Only that way you can use triggering unit as a specific unit event

Sadly I tried out your idears, but it didn't work.
Maybe it's do to my old version of world editor or maybe I'm just missing a point.
I had hoped for a so called "easy" trigger to do the job and thats why I haven't looked more into your Pyrogasm: (detection system)
Thank you so much for your help anyways and taking your time to write.

- I've decied to move on without achieve this goal. Maybe others will do!

This helps everyone, please use this method instead of posting pictures of your triggers:

How To Post Your Trigger

TopHow To Post Your Triggers I've seen many and many members around the site who need help with their triggers but don't know how to post their triggers in a thread, especially the newcomers. Posting your triggers in a thread is a very important matter when you're asking for a help from other...

Anyway, how about using some simple triggers for now:

1) The Recall SUPER ability should be based on the Channel ability. Set it's Follow Through Time to however long you want it to take, set Disable Other Abilities = False, and Options = Visible. Set the Base Order Id to something unused by your units like "submerge".

2) Use a Unit Group to track that the caster has begun channeling the ability:

• Start Recall
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Recall SUPER
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add (Triggering unit) to Recalling_Group
    • Trigger - Turn on Cancel Recall <gen>

3) Stop tracking the caster when it stops casting the ability (for any reason):

• Stop Recall
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Stops casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Recall SUPER
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from Recalling_Group
    • If ((Recalling_Group is empty) Equal to True) then do (Trigger - Turn off Cancel Recall <gen>) else do (Do nothing)

4) Teleport the caster when it successfully finishes channeling Recall:

• Finish Recall
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Recall SUPER
  • Actions
    • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) to (Some place)

5) Cancel channeling Recall when the caster is attacked:

• Cancel Recall
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit is Attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is in Recalling_Group) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop

Notes:
- Recalling_Group is a Unit Group variable.
- The Cancel Recall trigger should be Initially OFF. It's designed to be On while a unit is channeling Recall SUPER and Off while no units are channeling. This will help with your map's performance since "A unit is Attacked" can happen pretty often.
